Sightseeing
The 'Hovis' advert that used this location and aired on TV when I was a child is indelibly imprinted in my mind!
Parking is readily available in the town and is just a short stroll to the famous Gold Hill. The film studios have the knack of dressing a location to the point of deception! The street is traditionally cobbled and quite steep, though there is a handrail for those less agile! The term quintessentially English certainly applies to Gold Hill. The term anti-climatic may also loom in one's mind!

This is the place to be. Rain or shine, mist or cloud you can hear the birds sing. Benches dotted around for you to sit down and reflect and admire. You have the Abbey behind you, stooped in History. A garden to sit in and many pathways that take you to interesting places. There are farmers markets & various other days when stalls will set up. Another great feature is even when the wind is blowing it still feels calm. Could walk this all day admiring and musing over all that is good in the world.

Great atmosphere and amazing sight to tick off your list. Would suggest if going in winter to pack warm clothes and to ensure you are wearing correct footwear. Ensure you have a pastry from the cafe they are absolutely to die for.

Shopping
A really lovely shop, lovely staff. I really like the style of clothes here. You can find outfits for different occasions, as there are not many places to shop retail I really recommend this place.

As far as outlet shopping villages go this is a good one. There are loads of different shops here across a great variety of themes. Also plenty of places to partake of refreshment. Not sure how much value you will save but plenty of choice for all.

Spread Eagle HillLovely place for a walk in the sunshine!!
A heavenly place. A bucket list spot. I think the best in the south UK. You can feel the history of this place and the uniqueness of the landscape. Have to go and walk down to the beach at all seasons. The parking area is well maintained and the long walk takes you to a beautiful place
